The articles in which we liavo Honglit to present hoiuo of the reasons for removing tho capital, to the Mississippi Valley have mot , With very general and untjuontioning assent, W'ith a lew exceptions, iroiu the Western press. A few ask for tho select ion of some Binaller city or wholly rural site, like Nauvoo. lint we got through with asking for tho removal of the capital to Nauvoo several yenis ago. If nnyliody really wants the capital removed to Nauvoo, lot hini unite with the AVest gonernlly to secure a decision that tho capital shall at least be brought to tho Mississippi Valley. 'Then if the majority, of forces tend towards Nauvoo instead of St. Louis, wo will abido by it. The Cin cinnati (Itiri tic does us tho honor probably in return for our disinterestedness in advo cating St. Louis to nominate Chicago as the future capital, provided Chicago will enter into bonds not to elope or disappear. Chicago will do no such thing. If the time ever comes when more money can be made elsewhere than here, there as not a "solitary Chieagoan on horsoback'' who will not cheerfully leave our seven-story marble fronts, our imposing ele vators, and ourNieolson pavements, tomouldcr by tho Like like tho ruins of Carthage by tlio Mediterranean, and striko tents for tho new Chicago, wherever it may bo located. Our contemporary')? doleful references to liabylon, Nineveh, and (lomorrah, as examples of what may happen to Chicago several thousand years alter the capital should be brought hero, are not only in order, there fore, but well put. Wo acknowledge that we are fast, and that if the capital were packed and shipped for this port, by tlio thiKi it arrived this entire metropolis the first in patriotism, the second in area, tho third in virtue., and tho fourth in population in tho Union might have taken ils departure by the last train especially if tho capital were for warded via the Gulf and tho Mississippi river, lint St. Louis is so much less mercurial and locomotive that even tho skeptics of Cin cinnati may indulge in tho lively hopo that, bhould the national capital ever be shipped for that port in good order and condition, however long or tedious the voyage, tho con signee would bo found on tho levee, with his spy-glass steadily pointed down the river, in dustriously awaiting its arrival. But, seriously, the unanimity with which our proposition for Cnpitoline emigration is received is so intense as utterly to destroy the complacency with which we hud hitherto regarded it. A decent amount of opposition is necessary to the achievement of any sort of a victory, and tho faint show of hostile guns from Cincinnati, with an occasional spent shot from New York, is hardly enough - to give the necessary zest to tho conllict. By way, therefore, of suggesting whore these opposing guns might bo placed to draw our fire to best advantage, we present such objections as are likely to arise in the reflect ing mind, with the view of testing how much they are worth. The proposition to remove tho capital has first to, overcome the vast, deep-seated, and highly-resjeetablo via inertia or force of gravity of tho nation at large, which opposes all new movements. This "power of dead ness" stands in tho same relation to the brains that move and determine events as the Chi nese race stands to the Caucasian, or as tho Catholic Church sustained to Galileo, or as adipose fat bears to nervous tissue. It is tho ball and chain wherewith tho timid and foolish tether the bold and wise lest they may loso their good company. But tho cii inertia in the minds of men has its counterpart in the lis inertia of tho capital itself. While it would be easy to obtain a throe-fourths vote of the people that it were better if tho capital were at St. Louis, two-thirds of those so voting would at first oppose any removal, on the simple ground of tho alleged waste of time, labor, and money involved. Here is the great physical, engineering, financial ob stacle which will defeat the measure at every step, unless the people of the valley of the Mississippi can heartily unite upon a policy, ascertain the cost of overcoming all obstacles to its successful achievement, and unanimously commend it to the nation at large. The first subject to lie discussed and settled is, Could a removal of the capital be most wisely and economically effected by a sale of the present Capitol buildings, or their retention by the Government for other pur poses and the erection of new Government buildings at the new seat of government, or by the removal of the present buildings, stone by stone, from Washington to the desired point in the Mississippi valley? The very question launches the ordinary roador or writer beyond his depth, and even the ex pert in ordinary questions of engineering would perhaps demand months of time for investigation and calculation before hazard ing any estimate on an undertaking so unpre cedented, or a financial and architectural pro blem so complicated. 1'robubly, as in most questions depending on the testimony of ex perts, we would find them quite equally di vided between the theory that the actual re moval and restoration of the Capitol buildings would be wholly chimerical and impossible, and the rival theory that it would be no "great move after all." We would regard the project of removing the Capitol buildings as almost an entire waste of their value i.e., that now and better edifices could be erected at St. Louis-than those now existing at Washington for about what it would cost to remove tho latter. We see no reason why the Government could better afford, on removing its place of resi dence, to remove the buildings in which . it had resided, than why an individual resident of the East migrating to tho West should do the same thing. But, in deference to the movers of this matter in Congress last winter, s who seemed .to contemplate a physical re irlbval of the Government edifices themselves, we have entertained their view as equally tenable with the other. 'The general public can arrive at no conclu sion relative to the questions of engineering and finance involved in the removal of the Beat of government from tho data heretofore gathered. To f omi an opinion which shall be worth anything on those points, competent experts must be authoritatively employed to consider thein in detail and answer the (pies tion, "How much will tho removal of the capital cost ?" , ..... If the people ot the great .-Mississippi vm y are so agreed, as the language of many of 1v their leading journals ana poimciuun wwmu indicate, upon tho wisdom of asking a re moval of tho capital, is it not due to the movement and the country that they should take such measures as will call forth tho full est and most thoroughly representative ex pression of opinion on this important question- that they should ascertain authorita tively the fn" and extt nt of tlie cuunK tl0" mRmlcd, uuJ its tost to the mitiuii; Mid thut, lmving Uiuh olitainod an inlnlligent viow of the whole niorita of tho question themselves, thpy Hhould bring the fftdts and figures before the country iu a manner that cannot bo misunderstood. THE LAST PKEMIUM ON MURDER. Ftmi th y. 1'. World. Tho other day we predicted that tho jury in the case of tho negrcss ( lainos, at Washington, would acquit her. There wore divers rea sons for the supposition, only ono of which was requisite to give, and that was the allow ance by the court of such an argument as this upon the part of tho counsel for the defense, "That those of tho jury who were of the samo race as the accused should certainly not con vict her." Nor did they. The prisoner is a Degress. Six of the jury were negroes. That did tho business. The facts of this remark able acquittal arc these. The negress Unities found a white man low enough to consort with her. This white man chose to ask a woman of his own race to go to tho inaugu ration ball with him. Whereupon the negress was incensed, and watching a convenient, op portunity a few di'ys lifter, when herwhito paramour, James C. ingle, was lying asleep on a sofa in her room, cut his head oil' with a cleaver a nieut-axe. She was arrested, and six of the twelve jurymen empanelled were black men. The counsel for the mur deress was permitted to plead the fact of her race before tho intelligent jury; also, to brir.g in her father to swear to the insanity of his child and of her nncestors through and beyond him. Judge Fisher, of whom more anon, is reported thus brieilyuud perspicuously to have charged the jury of six black and six white radicals ffor tho iron-clad oath is exacted of all Washington juries), as follows: "Murder is where (sir) a homicide' is committed by a person of sane mind and with malice prepense. Tho law presumes every person innocent until he is proven (') guilty, aud a jury must give him the benefit of that doubt. I believe this jury will give tho accused tho benelit of tho doubt, as the law has always done in other cases. After this luminous charge squinting so obviously in favor of tho prisoner, not an alyzing at tdl her crime on tho flimsy evidence of her insanity; not enlarging upon tho sa creduoss of human life, whichj is in grenter peril in AVashington than in any other city in the States; not going into or expounding the evidence; carefully excluding all men tion of the positive character of the tes timony the jury, virtually under the instruc tion of tho court, acquitted the negress after an absurd "absence of two minutes.'" Now she is ot liberty to cohabit with any other man, and, if he be white, can cut off his head and be honorably and expeditiously acquitted in Judge Fisher's court, under his instructions to his amalgamated juries. The negrcss was crazy, forsooth ! Svhen ? Not before the crime ; .for then she was mistress of a white man. which, if evidence of lunacy, leaves not one likely wench out of any dozen sane at the capital. She has not been crazy since tho crime, because; when triumphantly acquitted by Judge Fisher's charge and Judge Fisher's jury, no means were instantly insti tuted to put her under tho caro of tho autho rities for the treatment and protection of in sane persons. No ! She marched freely out of court, her black hands not red, to Judge l-'isher's eyes, with the blood of a white man, and prepared to renew her lusts with any libe ral and low Caucasian willing and certain to have his head cut off if he so much as looks at a woman of Lis own color. In order, however, to give a shade of jus tification to the farce of her acquittal, this person Fisher caused tho Associated Press to telegraph, on Thursday, that means had been begun for the woman's temporary detention in an asylum. Iu this the negress is likely to stay just long enough for the indignation at her sham trial to cool down, where she will be fed on hog and hominy at the public ex pense, and discharged in season for her to begin the campaign of her body by tho time Congress assemblies. Therefore, it being flat blasphemy to dis pute the. verdict of this negress poors, she must have been insane at tho exact moment when her brawny African arms wielded the axe which severed the head from the body of her sleeping paramour, i rom which it fol lows, as the night tho day, that for a black prostitute to kill a white man in Washington is in itself proof positive of hor insanity, which entitles her to a legal acquittal and to a judicial encouragement to do so .with safety as often as she pleases. Tho facts to which the press should specially invite attention, in the ventilation of this verdict and its antecedents, are: I. That the plea of insanity is shamefully and f nvolouslv urged m behall ol cleleuiianta That it has become a patent plan for the shielding of criminals. That it should never be presumed, but that the onus of proving it should devolve upon those snoinittmg it in bar. In this case, it seems to have been thought sufficient to establish the fact upon the testimony of the negress' father. The testimony of such an interested party should, if not excluded, at least never be sufficient to overturn tho presumption of the law to the contrary. Men deeply versed in mental sei enee and mental diseases moreover, such of the latter as are directly acquainted with the constitution and mind of the prisoner herself ought to have been secured to testify to the insanity to entitle the plea to the least cre dence in the mind ol any sensible person. II. The danger of negro testimony aud tho propriety of "mixed'' juries have received a painful exhibition trom these proceedings. Any testimony that can bo bought for money, and the witnesses giving which are so densely stupid ami ignorant as not to know the obh gation of an oath, the duty of truthfulness, or to be as dough in the hands of any cunning counsellor, ore testimony and witnesses which no court, no community, can safely tolerate. There will be found no radical. with knowledge of the subject, who will have tho hardihood to maintain that tho avorago Washington negro, whether as a witness or juryman, is not a purchasable aud a grossly ignorant being. Wo ore not pre pared to assert that negro testimony should be excluded. Far from it; but in a judiciary as corrupt and bigoted and partisan as the District Judiciary have proved them selves to be, negro testimony is "dead sure" to go in favor of criminals of its own race, and against victims whose color is white, as has been shown by this trial. As to jurymen, tho mean need not be color, but ought to bo a degree of knowledge, if ever so slight. It is notorious that in Washington and throughout tho South negroes ore empanolled to deter mine upon the gravest questions of property, personal rights, and human life who cannot read or write, and to whom the first elements of morals and of tho binding obligation of oaths are as foreign as tho contents of the Greek Testament. At the same time, whites of learning and rectitude ore excluded from the jury-box because they did their duty to their native States when they were pillaged and invaded. T , And now a word as to this person, Judge Fisher, wlio is really responsible for tun scandal on justice and premium on murder. It is as plain in all cases where radicals and negroos are interested as it was in this cao, that this man sits to acquit as truly as mili tary conimissions. according to the late Ilonrr Winter Davis, ore "organized to convict. His demennor and leaning in this case oro of a pieeo with other cases. It is useless to declaim against his qualifications. That ho is ignorant, brutal, a radical stump ranter, a hahitnc of bar-rooms, as devoid of law as of dignity, and appointed by Abraham Lincoln as a reward for political service, and in tho same spirit which fastened an Underwood nnd a liustecd upon tho courts of tho country, to the eternal disgrace of the courts and of 'him who so filled them, cannot alter tho fact that his Honor Georgo H. Fisher is a judge, and as such can wank his weak and wicked will upon the lives and tho properly of tho un happy citizens of the bankrupt capital of the nation. But if wc may not denounce the judge, we may most certainly commend to the consid eration of all decent people the contemplation of what sort of an ollieial being ho is. The "charge." of his which we" have inserted in this article were enough wero il not fortified by antecedent and contemporary contempt 0:1 his part for all of even tho forms of jus tice. His course in tho trial of John H. S ir ratt cannot Ire recalled without a blush of shame for and from tho judiciary, high in nhose seat he is placed. It is tho calm state ment of Mr. Joseph H.Bradley that Fisher had fully and overtly bent every resolution of his mind nnd every npplianeo of his position to convict that accused; and it was to expose mid break up this determination, and to destroy the etleet of it upon the minds of the jury, that Mr. Bradley precipitated a quarrel with linn in open court a quarrel in which the learned lawyer's motives have long suffered misconstruction and undeserved criticism. But why pursue the picture? Where there is Radicalism there will bo Fishers, ami where there are Fishers there will be the same con victions (jf them which such acquittals as that of this negress Gaines most certainly are. THE RIGHT SPIRIT. From the X. Y. Time. Mr. Blow, the new Minister to Brazil, seized tho occasion afforded by tho farewell festival of his St. Louis friends to inculcate a lesson which other Slates than Missouri may profitably learn. He urges as tho con dition of "solid and enduring reconstruc tion'' the cultivation of good feeling between the sections, nnd the speediest possible obli teration of feelings and disabilities arising out of the war:- T.rt me open my lieurt to vrm plainlv, for T have never had but one view in regard to the settlement of our iliilleultU's. 1 liail a perfect fuiili In Hie hiirli character, tin; honor, and tin; noliilit.y of oar people. I had an uncivilly full It in the strength of our repub lican Institutions, and hence 1 decided that, justice nnd safety once secured, it was cur clear duty to forget the piisr, ami live only tor the ritture. I,et the world speculate as it will, all honest minds will acree that brave men are to be trusted. Let the enemies of democratic institutions hope for new discords, but ror us we win tmiuiy proclaim tunc ttie men Norm or South, East or West, In whose veins courses the pare blood of our Revolutionary fathers, are our brothers. What we want is a reunion founded on the love of the people for each other, and on a genuine attach ment to free institutions; and such a result must How from impartial justice. Let us reach that point, and onthe moment the voice of the century will proclaim us the llrst nation iu the world. Such, my friends, Is the picture I have drawn from a know ledge of what you have done for your country, bet Missouri gladly welcome all who honor these divine teachings. Tills will form a perfect minion. This is solid and enduring reconstruction." Whatever passion or partisanship may sug gest to the contrary, there can be no doubt that the practical application of the view here enunciated is essential to the restoration of genuine pence and prosperity. It is idle to hope for either so long as the proscription is maintained which at present exists in Mis souri, Tennesseo, West Virginia, Louisiana, and in one other of the reconstructed States. Disfranchisement and disabilities are as dan gerous as now they are unnecessary. Tho republican instincts of tho American peoplo revolt against them. They are an ever-present memorial of a strife which we should en deavor to forget a constant source of irrita tion, fostering on one side a misuse of power, and on the other a sense of harshness which makes hearty reconciliation virtually impossi ble. Therefore Mr. Blow is right. Justice and safety having been secured, "it is our clear duty to forget the past and live only for the future." On no other basis can difficul ties growing out of the Rebellion be satisfac torily adjusted. Might should be linked with magnanimity, or the triumph of the Union will lose somewhat of its glory. To the cultivation of this spirit in Virginia, General Grant has largely contributed; and it promises to have further development in Mis sissippi tinder his liberal execution of the reconstruction acts. Tho pending constitu tion of Texas is happily exempt from the op pressive disfranchisement which was projected in the two other States. It remains for the President to guard ftgainst tho revival of pro scription by Ihe arbitrary action of tho dis trict commanders, ns is evidently contem plated by General Canby in Virginia. The President has an opportunity of perfecting a work which in the case of Virginia owes much of its success to hisbroud and generous policy. Tho reconstruction ho is giving the country is of tho kind prayed for by the Min ister to Brazil. The value of tho service rendered by Gene ral Grant in this connection is enhanced by the pressure to which he has been subjected by the selfish schemers whoso intolerance takes a methodical and even a profitable shape. Wendell Phillips is not nlono in de manding the proclamation of martial law over tho South; nor do the Virginia supporters of Wells lack backers in their attempt, by fraud and falsehood, to frustrate tho election in that State. Phillips' demoniac hate knows no bounds, and th e hypocrisy of the Wells party is equally unscrupulous. These efforts to per petuate proscription and bad feeling have a counterpart in Tennessee, Texas, and Missis sippi; and they illustrate by contrast the wis dom and kindness of the just and humane policy which Mr, Blow commends, and which General Grant is quietly carrying into effect. Let this policy have free course, and let Con gress act upon it by providing some general measure lor the removal of the disabilities ot which it retains i v-unirol, nnd the futiud of the South will not long remain obscured. .--. Ont FINANCIAL TRIUMPH. From the X. l' Tribtme. Ono year ago we wero making no progress in tho reduction of our national debt,- had made nono for months, and wero likely to make none for months to come. Mr. Alex ander Delmar, the leading Copperhead free trade statistician, had recently put forth a manifesto, at the solicitation and with the emphatic endorsement of Messrs. Wilson G. Hunt, Homy Griunell & Co., showing, by elaborate computations and marshaling of long columns of figures, that there would be a Treasury deficit of $175,000,000 on the first day of this present July. And os nothing but a Rebel victory ever exhilarated the sham Democracy like a prospect of national bank ruptcy, tho Wirtil had surrendered many columns to Delinur's exhibit, ami tho Dewy. erotic press had everywhere hailed it with exultation os n suve premonition of n future of national distress, discredit, and humiliat ion. One year has passed, and with it tho mlo of Andrew Johnson. The wholesale thieves whom ho installed in power over our great Custom Houses, with tho lesser villains to whom he largely confided the collection of ititernal revenue, have been dismissed to tho obscurity for which they should feel so grate ful, and Republicans appointed to fill their places. The laws are the same as ever there has been no change calculated to increase the revenue or essentially reduce the expendi tures; yet tho revenue increased, while the expenditures ore reduced, so that we are pay ing off nearly ten millions per month of tho jirincipnl of our debt, after discharging every current obligation, including tho payment of over ten millions per month of interest in coin. Meantime, the general thrift is quite bo yond precedent. We are building new rail roads ot the rate of some thousands of miles per annum. Wo are improving and relaying many old ones, in many cases with steel rail. We are erecting factories and furnaces by hundred'", mainly iu the West and South, where they have hitherto been deficient. In spite of a ro prevalent fondness for trade and speculation, wo are building m.iny new farm-houses und repairing old ones, as every ono who trnvels in whatever direction must observe. More than this: we are making new homesteads and farms out of wild prairie and forest, with unwonted energy and rapidity. Michigan, Wisconsin, .Minnesota, Iowa, Mis souri. Kansas, and Nobraska are growing as new States have seldom grown, though hun dreds of thousands are reaching beyond them to Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana. Ne vada. California, and Oregon. In spit-.) of our heavy debt, and of tho formidable Slate, county, city, and township war debts which wo aro more rapidly paying off, this country, including her States lately desolated by civil war, is increasing its productiveness aud wealth as no country ever did before. The achievement next in order is the fund ing of the debt at. a lower rate of interest. We oro now paying six per cent., which is en tirely too high for a state of peace aud pros perity. Wo made the bulk of that debt re deemable after five nnd within twenty years expressly that we might, after the return of peace, bo at liberty so to fund it. We ought to begin tho process of funding directly and complete it within General Grant's first term. If tho Five-twenties could bo funded in anew four per cent., the saving iu interest would bo some thirty millions per annum, which of itself would extinguish the debt within a life time. We trust therefore that the peojilo will turn n deaf enr to all projects of essential tax re duction till the work of funding is complete. To effect it, the Treasury must be in tho re ceipt of a large surplus, and must be con stantly paying off (not merely converting) debt. So long as it shall persist in buying and putting aside or burning five to ten mil lions per month, it will be master of tho situ ation, nnd may dictate terms to the holders of its five-twenties. Let every citizen who believes in national honesty realize that every dollar abstracted from tho revenue now will cost many dollars in keeping up the interest of our debt, nnd the schemes of opon or covert repndiators to deplete the Treasury by reducing taxation will be repelled and re jected. SUBSTANTIAL SPIRITUALISM. Prom tht X. V. Tribune, There is no limit, apparently, to the spirit ualist theory and practice. Mr. Muuiler maintains in the face of tho lawyers that spirits enter into photography like snades into shadows such shadows as wo nre ourselves and which we pursue, as all the world knows. Mr. Homo deposes that the great Napoleon thrust his hand out of eternity to have it kissed by tho present Emperor of the French, who will witness, qie suppose, whether Mr. Home is juggling or not, unless he considers the dynastic trick of tho hand and spiritual eo ttp de mum too good a mystery to be ex plained to the vulgar. Mr. Dainrain tells the Dialectical Society that spiritual boys go to school and continue to go until .i., and that old men return to that ago like crabs, back ward which goes to show what terrible youths and what dreadful old boys they have in the liugbys and Harrows ot the spirit-lanu. Mr. arley, an electrician ns well as a spiritualist, holds more worldly views of tho future state, lie thinks that violent doaths, such as those by hanging, are very pre judicial to the comfort of ex-throttled spirits, that such malignants ns these bedevil the thoughts of their comrades below, and that thoro is as much superstition on the other sido the grave as' on this. Spiritualism, of course, is not supposed to bo a part ot that superstition. V e may ns well remark the general worliUi ness and materiality ot all this spiritual testi mony. Mr. Mumlcr's pictures, Napoleon's hand, Mr. Dainrain s terrible boys, and Mr Vnrley's devils and devotees, show a wonder ful apiIicabihty of tho phenomena of spirit ualism to the commonplaces of life. Would Mr. Muniler be surprised did he hear of a spirit oyster? or it the celebrated store on Broadway actually succeeded in producing a spirit hat or the ghost of a very old coat, delightful to tlio soul of Mr. ieulels- droch ? W hat would Mr. Homo say if Count Cagliostro put out his hand to pull his noso i W hat would be Mr. Damram s leelings to hud himself hazed at thirty-five in a spiritual Harrow? Is it a school ho would like to semi his own children to, and is ho sure that there- are no Squeerses in tho spirit-land '? Eter nity has, of course, no terrors or surprises for tho electrified but matter-of-fact Mr. Var- ley. His future world has gallows and male factors and humbugs marvellously like unto this and so we are thrown back upon our mortal selves. It is our own poor institu tions which, being of the earth, aro yet so unearthly. Of tho transcendentalism of good and evil we con never ml the coarse, e very-day life of this vulgar planet, and we, who fa 11 linram. molasses, nml time, or or rwinemle wo who write and urniii-ln' nnd make money, and go to Con gress or go to jail we are as arrant ghosts as those in limbo. THE PENNSYLVANIA CAMPAIGN. From the K. F. Ifrrald. Mr. Asa Packer, tho Democratic candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania, was sorouadod in Philadelphia a few evenings since, aud made the first speech of the campaign. It was a model tapeecu. t'' "" rake up defunct issues, as tho platform upon which be -was nominated lias; hj did not oarnde Snmbo ior old he breathe hostility to any class of peoplo, nor made he promises to friends or foes, foreign or domestic. But, like a plain, common-sense citizen, he de clared that ho was no talker, but a worker, and as such was ready to load tho van of tho Pennsylvania Democracy to victory. That is all the Democrats of the Keystone State ask, ond with victory porched upon their banners this year they will be prepared to enter tho next Presidential contest with some of tho oUlcittl sjato plunder well in baud., It tho campaign bo pursued upon tho modol plan adopted at tho outset by Mr. Packer, tho Democracy may achiove an easy triumph, and teach tho administration that silence is a virtue that can be employed iu politics as well upon one sido as another.
